I have to set a route that I am setting in windows xp by using this command :

route -p add 224.224.224.0 mask 240.240.240.0 150.1.2.194 metric 30

Under windows 7, this command doesn't work anymore (bad param).

How can I set this route in windows 7 ?

Regards.

I believe the -p flag comes before add.

eg: route -p add 224.224.224.0 mask 240.240.240.0 150.1.2.194 metric 30

  • Sorry, code sample was from memory, the -p flag is not the problem here. It can be removed the command still doesn't works. (question edited)

  • Is your gateway (150.1.2.194) correct? Your syntax looks correct, so there must be an IP conflict. See one user's experience: superuser.com/questions/200483/…

  • The gateway ip is the one defined for one of the network adapter. I have modified my question to display the problem.

  • Have you made any headway with this?

  • Not at all, I have updated the question to show what is the problem, but I can't find what is wrong in windows 7 with this command.

The problem is the netmask, a netmask by definition is a mask which defines the bits to apply variation so you cannot have variation in the first 3 of the fields. If you have a mask of 240.x.x.x then the x.x.x must be 0.0.0.

I have actually just used the command: route ADD 224.0.0.0 MASK 240.0.0.0 192.168.3.1 IF 21 -p
